Longing for simplicity......

As the days go by, and I don't feel any better, I have started to wonder.  How much did I let life get in the way of happy?  Or how much did I let all the outside things in life affect how I felt about the important things I cherish.? I fear we have let the daily grind get to us.  The stresses of jobs, money or the lack there of, insurance, medical problems, and debt.  I know it is hard to not let those things get to you.  But I think on all the years we talked about taking family vacations, talked about doing this or that, and never did any of it.  Would it have mattered?  I don't know.  But I can say, that if we can weather through this storm, I am damn well going to start doing those things.  Working less, enjoying life more.  Seems the more money we make the less we have anyway.  The costs of living are rising faster than any raises I ever seem to get.  I am angry at myself for the years wasted, the opportunities lost.  I just hope it's not too late......
